PAPER: Rock Creek Park Predator Interviewed by Police Investigating Levy Death Thu May 23 2002 12:52:01 ET

D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officials investigating the death of Washington intern Chandra Levy have interviewed a man serving a 10-year prison sentence for attacking two women in Rock Creek Park last year, ROLL CALL DAILY is planning to report on Thursday.

MORE

D.C. Metro Police investigators have "talked to" Ingmar Guandeque, who was arrested in July 2001 after attacking two females (one in May and one in July) who were jogging along the Broad Branch trail in Rock Creek Park. Levy's decomposed body was found Wednesday along the Broad Branch trail in a heavily wooded area.

A second official close to the Levy investigation said that while Guandeque was interviewed after Levy's disappearance last year, investigators are now taking a closer look at him since the intern's body was discovered.

"Clearly there are some coincidences and links -- just because of the proximity of where he [committed his crimes]," said a source close to the investigation.

ROLL CALL's Amy Keller reports: Guandeque, who lived on the 1400 block of Somerset Place Northwest, was arrested last summer and sentenced in February 2002 to two concurrent terms of 10 years' imprisonment for a pair of assaults of female joggers in the Broad Branch section of the park.

The first attack occurred in mid-May 2001, at 6:30 p.m., about two weeks after Levy disappeared. In that case, Guandeque came upon an unnamed female jogger, attacking her from behind while brandishing a knife.

NOTICE

Somebody PLEASE find a Condit/Levy death timeline...I did a FreepSearch and turned up nothing.

I think it is critical that this come up again into the public eye. FreeRepublic is HIGHLY influential among talk show hosts who, at the moment, have the ear of a substantial part of influential Americans.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

How come this 'predator' was never mentioned as a suspect previously?

Two reasons that I can think of.

1. The Levy case up until yesterday was not a murder investigation.

2. The body had not been located at Rock Creek Park before yesterday, so a Rock Creek Park predator wouldn't necessarily be top of the list of people to look at.

where are her keys?

About to turn up among this guy's possessions in the evidence locker if Condit continues to cooperate with whoever's got him between a rock and a hard place...

He bothers to put the body in a shallow grave then goes on to unsuccessfully attack two more women in the same place to draw attention to it. Right?

Logical no. But you have to realize this individual was probably operating without an excess of that. Predators like their hunting grounds, and the fact that the police never found the body probably emboldened him.

It's quite possible this guy in jail is not the culprit. But he's a far more likely suspect than Condit.

No, this sounds like a very serious suspect. Considering the location and timing of the other attacks, this may be the killer.

Condit's big crime is that he knew where she was. He probably even met her that day. But the despicable ghoul was afraid of the scandal and afraid of suspicion, and so took the craven path of hiding and silence.

I agree, but Condit can't be ruled out yet.

Couple of things. Supposedly her body was covered with about a foot of brush. The dog smelled something and was digging in the area when the skull appears. Police called, area taped off.

Question. The cadets check the area last July, if not more than once. Two months, June and July. Wouldn't the heat have helped decay and wouldn't cadets smell a decaying body?

1. If I knew of the existence of this "perp" and his MO I would wait until Chandra's body had totally decomposed (to make the determination of the exact cause and time of death more difficult for the medical examiner and police) and then plant the remains to implicate this stiff.

2. However, using Occam's Razor the most likely explanation is Chandra Levy was the victim of a deranged predator. Perhaps she put up a tremendous struggle and he either stabbed her or strangled her to stop her from struggling or screaming. During his later attacks he may have purposely refrained from killing in an attempt to divorce himself from the Levy killing since he knew that should he be caught the body was close by.

3. I'd love to see this moron (Condit) hang, but I'm afraid it's only wishful thinking at this point.

it is unlikely that she was jogging this time

Yes. Why were her keys and cell phone at the pad with packed suitcases, along with a second unpacked pair of jogging shoes? And if she really were jogging, she would certainly have had some clean clothes to change into left unpacked

No. She felt the park was safe during the day, enjoyed it's beauty and peacefulness, wanted to return to a favorite place before leaving DC, wanted to think, or was on her way to meet someone.

This additional info about a man assaulting women in the same area and the same timeframe only adds to the likelihood that Chandra was killed by a serial rapist/murderer.

A serial rapist/murderer who returns to the scene of the crime, loses in struggles with two women after he supposedly murdered Levy, and does so knowing her body is lying nearby in the woods?

Anyone know whether they searched with dogs? I would think so. I'll bet a good dog can smell a dead body a mile away.

Levy usually didn't go jogging and with her known penchant for privacy and self-protection, it is unlikely that she was jogging this time.

Except a case for hr jogging there can be easily made.

She had just terminated her membership at health club which ended at the end of the month or Arpil 30, People used to working out regularly or daily are like addicts they need to keep something going everday.

On May 1, the first day w/o a membership she could have looked up local jogging paths on her computer and then left to go jog the trail.

re: Timeline.

Type into your browsers search string: +Chandra +Levy +Timeline

This should bring up at least 50 hits.

Unless something has changed in the last little while, this is still not a murder investigation. It has been officially changed from a missing persons case to a death case ..... though I suspect everyone is really considering it a murder case.

Guandeque has not been identified as a suspect but has merely been interviewed at this point.

Facts matter.

Too pat for my taste. consider the fact that that area had already been searched and then voila, the body turns up there a year later?

Rememember the missing hard drives from Los Alamos? The ones that went missing with identity or clues to the ID of the Los Alamos spy? The ones,that when the fires were encroaching, were miraculously found,albeit wiped clean, behind the copying machines,that had "already been searched"? Donning my tin foil hat,but isnt this MO similar? (probably not,but anytime I can make a jab at the Dems,Ill take it. Los Alamos was pure,vintage Xlinton. Condit is a Dem........)

He is still guilty of the affair, a 55 year old man an a 21 year old girl, his children are older, and he lied about it to everyone, including the police twice.

Where were you during the Clinton years? Don't you realize none of that matters - it's how well he does his job! < /sarcasm>

"Absolutely. This is Waaaayyy too convenient methinks. How come this 'predator' was never mentioned as a suspect previously? Condit would have trumpeted this from the rooftops. I Think it smells."

It stinks! Chandra did not like jogging, I heard it reported. She was in the park to meet Condidit.
